If your request is submitted at the beginning of Semester, when it is very busy, it may take up to two weeks to process. At other times your material should be processed within 48 hours of the Reserve receiving the material (excluding weekends).

Also processing may take up to two weeks if the item you require is a UTS Library item that is out on loan, or 14 weeks if the item has to be purchased from overseas.

We will normally retain or remove items according to your instructions. However, to ensure that underutilised material is not taking up valuable space in the Reserve, items will be removed that have not been borrowed from the Reserve for 12 months or more. You will be notified by email if this affects your Reserve material.

An email will be sent to all lecturers with Reserve items in November each year seeking advice about their Reserve needs for the following year. The email will contain subject listings of all Reserve items currently held by the lecturer. Please reply to this email as promptly as possible.
